It’s common to come across a taxi driver who doesn’t speak English, so make sure to have your address written down.

Convenience

Getting to Torrevieja by bus isn’t the most convenient option, especially for larger groups. You will have to change two different bus lines, which operate only a few times per day; this means long waiting times and large crowds during the scheduled departures. Also, the total journey takes over 2 hours, so it’s certainly not the best option if you’re in Murcia for only a couple of days.

Editor’s Note

For 1-2 travellers with light luggage, the bus is a budget-friendly transportation option to reach Torrevieja. If you're travelling with a larger group, however, the total cost increases significantly so given the travelling duration it's not a good value for money option.
